Coral Canyon – Shallow dive (35ft) which explores the buttresses of the fore-reef possible in very calm conditions. Huge Coral formations in habited by fishes, crabs, lobsters, and occasional school of tarpoon.

Grouper City – Drift dive along a (50-70ft) wall with plenty of grouper.

The Crabwalk – Drift dive (maximum 130ft) Channel clinging crabs inhabit the many holes in this wall while schools of horse eyed Jack frequent the area.

TURNEFFE ATOLL

Turneffe Island is the largest of the three atolls and the only one with an extensive color of mangroves.

West Side story – Medium dive (30-80ft). No wall but A gently sloping reef. Enriched by the mangroves, everything here is different.

The Elbow – Deep or medium drift dive and time to see the pelagics. Divers go to Belize just for this one. This is one of the few drift dives along the atolls that is actually a true drift dive-if currents are cooperating. It can only be done in calm conditions, and given the site’s exposure, that isn’t a constant. When it can be dived, divers hope for some solid current action as this attracts the big schools of fish, which in turn attract Caribbean reef sharks, the occasional hammerhead, mantas, schooling eagle rays in groups of up to 40 or 50 and lots of other pelagic life not normally seen in calmer areas. Located where the currents run along both sides of the atoll convene, The Elbow can be a fast drift. The best action is over the edge at 60ft to 120 ft. Look out into the blue water to see cuber snapper schools, horse eye jacks in large numbers, and lots of other pelagic life.

* Dive sites which are likely to be encountered among the seventy or more named sites in and around Blackbird Caye. Enough pristine dive sites for weeks of diving.
